Group B kicks-off with Euros finalists England hosting a team many have written off in Iran. England are strong favourites for the group after reach the semi-final and 2018 before going one better at the Euros. Iran was the best Asian team in the tournament so England need to be taking this game seriously instead of looking ahead to the USA.
England are 1/3 favourites to win this at the time of writing which looks on the short side with the form they showed in the Nations League. They got relegated scoring just 4 in 6 games. They were far better in World Cup qualifying but don’t always start fast so a 1 goal margin looks the value. Harry Kane won the Golden Boot in 2018 and will be England’s biggest threat in this tournament as well.
Iran will be very well organised under classy manager Carlos Queiroz as you can tell by their record, lost 1 competitive match in 3 years and beat a decent Uruguay side 1-0 in September. They played well in 2018 running Spain close and drawing with Portugal so this won’t be easy for England but the pressure could tell late on.
- Their class should shine through but Iran will be hard to breakdown for long peroids
- 4 of the last 6 England games had less than 3 goals
- Iran will likely sit back so England’s possession will lead to plenty of corners
